Guarding the Heart

Curate with Mama

Reno sat pensively in front of the window of the Vely nursery, Reno looked out the window and what was seen was the sight of the city lights at night.

"why son?" Lia sat next to Reno and gently rubbed her son's shoulders.

"eh mama, it's okay to mah" Reno fixed her seat to align with Lia

"do you know? for 25 years, if you ever lied to me, mama would know"

"he he time the hell mama knows?"

"seriously mama know, you do not want to fit you as Vely came home from school soaked, you said your mama was rained when mama knew that actually you deliberately rained with Vely right?"

Reno fell silent considering the events that almost happened about six years ago. After remembering Reno even laughed out loud at his mother.

"inget right?" Lia

"yes mah inget"

"wasn't it your mother's guess?"

"hey, do you know where you're from?"

"hemm you're Mama Reno's son.Your inner bond and your mama is strong anyway mama can know you're lying, even now mama knows that you're lying to mama"

"i lied to you, huh?"

"so you said it was okay, but I'm sure there must be something you're thinking about and you're hiding from me"

"ah mama most also happens to be ha ha ha "

"your basics" Lia pinched Reno's thigh, dismissing Lia's words, but Lia knew that Reno was switching the conversation.

"it's very sick "

"now you're telling me what else you think?"

there's no harm in me telling mom (Reno)

"Reno is afraid of mah"

"what's the fear, son?"

"why did you say that Ren? Vely loves you so much"

"Gilang has devoted everything he has to Vely mah, his love, his time, his attention, his affection and his loyalty, Gilang also who is always with Vely in the hardest moments, Vely, reno is inversely proportional to what Gilang does. Reno had even deliberately left Vely"

"but you're like that because you don't know what's really going on with Vely Reno"

"say mah, Gilang is the most meritorious in the life of Vely"

Lia was silent for a moment.

"have you ever heard the term love shouldn't have?"

"yes mah"

"maybe that's what you have to do right now"

"so Reno has to relain Vely to Gilang?"

"that's the worst possibility that you should try to get Vely to be with you again, because actually mama can't open her heart to other girls to become mama's daughter-in-law"

"aamiin doain Reno ya mah, may Vely soul mate Reno"

"definitely son, it's always best for your kids"

Reno walked closer towards Vely's gurney, Reno sat down and clasped Vely's hand.

"i love you Velysia.kamu Cepet wake up yes I miss your sweet smile, because since the incident that night the smile suddenly disappeared just like that from your little lips, you know, you can punish me as you please for what I have done, I will accept it with sincerity as long as you are relieved. I love you with all my heart, I'm sorry I'm Velysia..."

Lia stroked her son's back trying to strengthen and provide support.

"mama go home let Reno alone here tonight mah"

"sure your mom's coming home?" Reno nodded

"ok if that's what mom called papa first let me pick up mama"

"yes mah"
